Thank you for your post peanut. I'm so sorry that you had to endure the heartache of losing your mother that way. I think about suicide at times. But in reality I could never do it. I know I am stronger than that. The poem was just an affirmation to myself that I have so much to live for. Doing something like that is not an option. It was just something I felt at the time, and being a writer, I normally get it down on paper before I lose the moment. Thanks for taking the time to read it, and thanks for your kind words. This board truly is an extended family who really cares.
